Good afternoon.
When we bought our house the previous owners left behind a trash compactor. It is heavy and ugly, so it stays in the garage. We throw our aluminum cans in it to crunch them down. When I have 4 bricks of cans I take them to the recycle. Today I took in my 4 bricks of cans and made $16.10. I stopped at the world headquarters of Sonic Corp for a cheeseburger. That cost me just under 6 bucks. It is 6.5 miles each way. At .75 per mile that is $9.75 so I made a quarter and got a free lunch!
My El Camino is cheaper than 75 cents per mile after 295,000 miles that would be almost a 1/4 million dollars. The real point is after a year of recycling cans I got a free burger & maybe a dollar.
